Charles Davis Jul 11, 2016:
No, of course medians don't have a range. This surely means the median of each set of data with the range of that set of data. "Con sus rangos" is a loose but common way of expressing this; "sus" means "the corresponding".
DLyons Jul 11, 2016:
The ST is "medians with ranges" and this would normally be read as meaning each median followed by the range of values of the data set used for its calculation. It's the data that has a range, not the median which is a single calculated value.

You'll find text online like "range of the median", but that's usually shorthand for something else - often the interquartile range of the median. And I'd argue that the median itself doesn't really have an interquartile range, it's rather that there's an underlying distribution which has both an interquartile range and a median.

medianas con sus rangos

"Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of "averages". [...]
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order, so you may have to rewrite your list first. The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number is repeated, then there is no mode for the list.
The "range" is just the difference between the largest and smallest values. [...]"

"La media aritmética es la suma de todos los datos dividida entre el número total de datos. [...]
La mediana es el valor que ocupa el lugar central entre todos los valores del conjunto de datos, cuando estos están ordenados en forma creciente o decreciente. [...]"
El rango da la idea de proximidad de los datos a la media. Se calcula restando el dato menor al dato mayor."
